I read a comment elsewhere that the strife is between the people on the left side of the iq bell curve, and those on the right.
Steelworkers and blue collar jobs, left side, mostly, while those in upper management that ship the jobs elsewhere in search of arbitrage are on the right side. Lobbyists and pols, right side, that rejiggered the export and import laws to benefit the right side.
Wondering what others think of this explanation...
- neuro_imager 9y agoAppallingly simplistic (if not entirely wrong). And I've never met someone in management that belonged on the right side of an IQ bell curve.
- zo1 9y agoYou accuse the other person of being "entirely wrong" and then you go and claim that all management you've ever worked with is effectively on the left-side of the IQ bell curve? I.e. Saying they are all unintelligent.
- neuro_imager 9y agoGood, you understood me. Well done.
- patrickg_zill 9y agoClearly some in American society benefit directly from the outsourcing and others do not. And, it seems to be the same set of classes benefiting or losing, each time. So what patterns do you perceive?
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoI think people on the left side of the IQ bell curve shouldn't experience a declining quality of life just because they weren't genetically and/or financially blessed as a child.
